| EARLY MORNING BURGLARY IN ENGLEWOOD |
|
WENGNews writes, "TWO MEN WERE ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH AN ARMED ROBBERY IN ENGLEWOOD EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING. CHARLOTTE COUNTY DEPUTIES SAY 23 YEAR OLD IAN ROCHEK AND 37 YEAR OLD JAMES AVELLA WERE BOTH TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AFTER AUTHORITIES WERE CALLED OUT TO DENNY’S ON SOUTH McCALL ROAD JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. TWO MEN SAID AN ARMED ROBBERY TOOK PLACE ON MANOR COURT, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GIVE A DESCRIPTION OF THE CAR AND PEOPLE INVOLVED. SARASOTA DEPUTIES STOPPED THE CAR JUST BEFORE 1AM, WHERE THE TWO MEN AND ANOTHER WOMAN WERE INSIDE. THE WOMAN, 20 YEAR OLD KRISTEN HANKINSON, GAVE ONE STORY WHILE THE TWO MEN GAVE ANOTHER. THE MEN CLAIMED THEY WERE BUYING THE WOMAN’S CAR WHEN AVELLA PULLED A GUN ON THEM AND TOOK THEIR MONEY. HANKINSON TOLD AUTHORITIES THAT SHE PICKED UP THE TWO MEN TO BUY DRUGS, AND WHEN SHE CAME INTO A ROOM AVELLA HAD PULLED A GUN ON ONE OF THE MEN. DETECTIVES DETERMINED AFTER TALKING TO ALL INVOLVED TO ARREST ROCHEK AND AVELLA, AND THEY CHARGED THEM WITH ROBBERY WITH A FIREARM. THEY WERE BOTH TAKEN TO THE CHARLOTTE COUNTY JAIL, AND DEPUTIES SAY THE INVESTIGATION IS NOT OVER, WITH MORE CHARGES TO COME. "
